The Black & Decker NPP2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Chain Saw - A Review

When I first got my hands on the Black & Decker NPP2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Chain Saw I jumped to a few conclusions. The first, there is no way that a cordless electric pole chainsaw will have the power to chop through the tree limbs I had set up for it. The second, This chainsaw is going to be heavy and uncomfortable. The third thing I thought was that this electric chainsaw will be broken before my review day was over. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this little guy!

Black And Decker Drill Set

Lets discuss the power of the Black & Decker NPP2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Chain Saw. It comes uses a 18 - volt Nicad battery to power the 8 inch cutting bar. I followed the instructions and made sure the battery was fully charged first. Then I took it to work. I had a lot to cut and I was really trying to test the limits of this chainsaw. I got through about 30 limbs that ranged between 1 inch and 3 inches before the battery started showing any signs of letting up. At no point did the saw seem to be strained or working over time. It just kept powering away.

Black And Decker Drill Set

Now on to the weight of the saw. It can extend to 14 feet and it is listed as weighing 7.6 pounds. The heaviest part is by far the battery which is good because that's usually at the base when you are working with it. The saw did not become flimsy as I expected when it was fully extended. The motor near the top of the saw is not overly heavy and it does not get in the way either. I think the fact that this day was close to 90 degrees made it seem a little heavier to me but yard work is yard work.

The Black & Decker NPP2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Chain Saw turned out to be a lot more durable that I had originally expected. After it was doing so well with the limbs I was cutting I tried to push it a little. I found a big branch that needed to come down. This was about 4 and a half inches. This was the only time that the saw ran into some trouble. Like I said I was pushing this electric chainsaw to its limits.

Overall, the Black and Decker electric pole chainsaw far exceeded my expectations. The one thing I did not like was feeling a little bit of a lack of control when cutting in fully extended mode. This could have been my fault though. Everything else this saw claims it can do was not fluff at all. If you have a few small to medium sized tree limbs that need pruning this electric chainsaw is the perfect addition to your garage.

Carbon Fiber Handled Hammers Considered

If you are considering doing some serious home-improvement around your house, and you're going to try to do most of the work yourself in order to save money, then you are going to need some solid tools and one of the most important items is a good hammer. If you are getting up there in age you may not want to get an old-style hammer that has a steel, or stainless steel handle.

Black And Decker Drill Set

This makes them very heavy and you will get tired very quickly, especially if you're not conditioned for rigorous handyman work.

Black And Decker Drill Set

I'd like to recommend that you buy a hammer with a carbon fiber handle. They are quite a bit lighter, ergonomically sound, and about the same price. You will note that handle will be black instead of chrome colored, and some of the more popular brands have yellow handles, which makes them a little safer in case someone steps on it and it flips up and hurts them.

Even better if you use the hammer to pry things open you will find that the carbon fiber handle is plenty strong enough. Most hammers are not made in the United States anymore, and you shouldn't feel sorry that you didn't buy a hammer made with the US steel, because most of these hammers are made in China.

Yes, many of the carbon fiber handled hammers are also made in China. However, there are two brands of hammers and they are still made in the United States and one of the brands sells both carbon fiber handled hammers, as well as stainless steel handled hammers. Remember every good handyman has a trusty hammer. Please consider all this.

Cyber Monday Black & Decker PD600 Pivot Plus 6-Volt Nicad Cordless Screwdriver with Articulating Head Overview

We can't think of anything we'd want to add to this little hummer. It's incredible what B&D has engineered into this system (we don't think it's fair to call it a "screwdriver"). Dual speed range lets you drill holes at high speed and drive screws at the slower speed. A 23-position clutch, just like what's on the big boys, will keep you from stripping your screws. But get this: Unlike conventional cordless screwdrivers and regular power drills, this tool's handle easily locks in three positions for tight areas and awkward spots. Genius! And just like the "real" drills, this one's got an accessible forward/reverse rocker switch for backing screws out, too. Here's something, though, that the big-boy drill makers should pick up: It's got on integrated light so you can always see your work surface clearly. For the money, we haven't seen anything like it. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Top 3 Martial Arts Drills to Keep Your Students Coming Back For More!

Looking for martial arts drills to keep your young students energized and motivated? You have come to the right place! Typically the number one reason a student quits a class is because they become bored with the same old drills week after week. Here are 3 great drills for kids you can incorporate into your lesson plan today.

Black And Decker Drill Set

CATCH YOUR TAIL

Black And Decker Drill Set

For this drill you will only need a ribbon about 3-4 feet long. Pair off your students. One will be the head and one will be the tail. Tie the ribbon to the back of the belt of the "head" student while giving the "tail" to the second student. The goal is for the head to catch the tail. This encourages students to think creatively, use agility and promotes fun!

OBSTACLE COURSE DRILL

Races are ALWAYS popular with kids! Divide your class into 2 or more even groups. Set up an obstacle course consisting of different stations. My particular favorite circuit consists of: 15 jumping jacks, crawling through a tunnel made from a rolled up hard surface mat, walk the balance beam, perform 10 punches on the hanging bag and ending with 3 push ups. Use your imagination and create whatever you can think of and then time each student. Its a game that teaches speed & endurance!

DODGE BALL

Sometimes it is announced before the start of some classes that if they are attentive and do well in class "we may have time for a game of dodge ball". We have a large rubber bouncy ball and arrange teams. One team divided on each side of room.... other team in middle. As they are hit they sit out until last person is left. Also teaches speed and evasion skill. (We encourage forward rolls!)

Moreover, if every American used energy-efficient chargers, we could prevent the release of more than one million tons of greenhouse gases into our environment, which would be equivalent to taking 150,000 cars off the road each year.

Along with the Energy-Star rated battery charger and 11-piece accessory set, the LI4000 screwdriver is backed by a two-year warranty.

The World's Most Famous Runners

There have been many famous runners throughout the years, and they have accomplished many record-setting performances and feats which are hard to break. These world-famous runners have participated in the Olympics, ran many marathons, and are track and field stars in their own right. Some of them have pioneered the sport from over a century ago, and some of them have attained world prominence because of their hard work and athletic prowess in recent years. While listing all of these great athletes would be impossible, here is a great taste of some of the more memorable ones.

Black And Decker Drill Set

When we think of some of the greatest Olympians who have been runners, some of the first names who come to mind are; Jesse Owens, Carl Lewis, Mary Decker-Slaney, Grete Waitz, Michael Johnson, Deena Kastor, and Paula Radcliffe. These world-famous runners have been able to accomplish Olympic gold and marathon excellence Most set new track and field marks which have often been hard to reach.

Black And Decker Drill Set

Jesse Owens was able to win four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He brought Olympic running to prominence because of his unprecedented feat. These four Olympic gold medals were not matched for almost 50 years until Carl Lewis came along in 1984 at the Los Angeles Olympics. These two heroic runners were able to claim their multiple prizes by running in the 100 m, 200 m, 4 x 100 m, and long jump events.

Arthur Lydiard, who passed away in 2004, is considered one of the top five running figures in this past century. Not only had he won several different marathons over his great career, but he also is credited with inventing the exercise program that we all know as jogging.

Deena Kastor is currently considered one of the best female American marathoners. In the same token, Paula Radcliffe is also one of the best long distance runners in the world. Craig Mottram is from Australia and is also a continual threat in the marathon. Some of these world-famous runners are current threats in the world of running.

Many other world-famous runners of the past and present are names that you just might recognize. The list includes, but is not limited to: Sir Roger Bannister, Uta Pippig, Jeff Galloway, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Naoko Takahashi, Evans Rutto, Catherine Switzer, Rosa Mota, Arturo Barrios, David Bedford, and Paul Bitok. All of these runners have gained acclaim in the world of running through their hard work and sacrifice.

Sprinkler Head Placement Or Layout

One of the main tasks of designing an irrigation system is the sprinkler head layout. The sprinkler head layout consists of deciding what kind of sprinkler heads will be used and where exactly they will be placed. When I do a layout I place flags in the yard representing where each head will go.

Black And Decker Drill Set

I continue to mark out the sprinkler heads, using different color flags for each individual zone. For example, the front right spray zone may have blue flags at each spot where a spray heads will be placed, a side spray zone may have orange flags, and a back rotor zone would have red flags.

Black And Decker Drill Set

Keeping each zone its' own color will help you with the building of your sprinkler system so that you don't mix the wrong heads on a particular sprinkler zone.

When laying out your lawn sprinkler system remember to not mix rotors and spray heads as I mentioned in my previous article. Rotors and sprays put out water at a different rate so you'll want to keep them separated.

Rotor heads typically throw 30 feet and can be reduced slightly if needed. Sprays can throw from 4 feet to 18 feet depending on what type of nozzle you use. Rotors can usually be adjusted from about 25 degrees to 360 degrees radius. Spray nozzles come in either fixed or adjustable pattern radius. I try and stick with fixed nozzles (ie. 15 half, 10 quarter, 12 full etc...) because they have a better spray pattern and don't tend to get clogged like the adjustable pattern sprays.

A 15 half nozzle, on a spray head, throws a 15 foot radius of water in a 180 degree pattern. a 15 quarter spray nozzle throws water out in a 90 degree pattern. A 10 half spray nozzle throws out water a 10 foot radius in a 180 degree pattern. A 10 full throws out water in a 360 degree pattern (full circle) with a diameter of 20 feet (still a 10 foot radius).

Spray nozzles from major brands like Rain Bird and Hunter have the pattern and size of nozzle imprinted on the actual nozzle to help identify. A 12 half has the imprint "12 H" and has hash marks showing the 180 degree pattern. Rain Bird even color codes the nozzles for quicker identification of nozzle when out in the field. 15's are black, 12's are brown, 10's are blue, 8's are green (discontinued now), 4's are yellow. They only started doing this a few years ago, so there are still many old nozzles where all the sizes are still black, so always make sure to look for the imprint.

Rotor nozzles come in different GPM (gallons per minute) sizes. The most typical sizes used in residential landscapes are 2.0 and 3.0 rotor nozzles. You may find the occasional 1.5, 5.0, or even 6.0. but it's not too common for average sized yards. To provide for even watering with rotors, you would use 1.5's for the rotor heads that will be watering approximately 90 degrees, and use 3.0's for the heads that will be turning 180 degrees. Don't freak out if you can't get this exact...just try to be as close as you can.

Overall the most important factor when doing a lawn sprinkler head layout is to make sure that you have "head to head" coverage. What this means is that the water from one sprinkler head reaches the next sprinkler head in the yard. This will ensure even precipitation and "double coverage" which is essential to a proper lawn sprinkler design.

So a couple of main points to remember when designing out your lawn sprinkler system are: Make sure that you don't mix rotors & sprays. Make sure that they heads are laid out so that you have double or "head to head" coverage. Use different color flags to represent the different zones when flagging or marking out where each sprinkler head will be placed.

Blacksmithing Tools

Blacksmithing is one of the odd professions that allows a skilled craftsman to make the tools necessary for their job. Basically, a blacksmith could be making the tools today that they will be using tomorrow to make more tools for another job. This is a cycle that can repeat itself over and over. Sort of a chicken and egg situation. Which came first, the blacksmith or his tools?

Black And Decker Drill Set

The only other profession that does this sort of thing that pops into my head are computer games designers. Because what they do is so bleeding edge, they can't just buy the tools they need to build their games. They first have to build the software they need, and then use that software to build their games. Kind of a funny mix of professions don't you think? Blacksmithing is so old and steeped in ancient traditions, yet games designing is so full of 20 something pimple faced geeks. These two groups are likely even hardly aware that the other exists. Anyway, I digress.

Black And Decker Drill Set

What I wanted to talk a little about is the tools used by the average blacksmith. At the very heart of any blacksmith shop is the forge. Usually either a gas forge, or a coal forge. Coal forges have been around since the earliest days of blacksmithing. They still exist. Partially from tradition and partially from the fact that in the hands of a skilled craftsman a coal forge is a more versatile source of heat. Coal is however dirty, and unhealthy to be around for long periods of time. It also requires a little more practice to control. Gas forges, while being perhaps less traditional, offer a cleaner burn and a quicker learning curve for the novice blacksmith.

There is a plethora of other tools used by a working blacksmith. They include anvils, hammers, thongs, hold down, swages, fullers, and workbenches.

How to Get Past the Fear of Taking Your First Karate Belt Test

OK, so you've stuck with your karate training for a couple of months already. You enjoy learning all of the punches, kicks and blocks, you've learned your first form and you also know some basic partner work drills. It's time to try for your next belt and for some reason it feels like a wave of fear has suddenly come over you that is threatening your future in the martial arts.

Black And Decker Drill Set

You know you have to take a belt test (also called promotion test or grading) to get the next belt and you want to be successful, but suddenly your previous fear of public speaking seems insignificant compared to the prospect of demonstrating your karate prowess in front of your instructor and fellow club members. Can you do it? Will you pass? How do you get past your fears and take the first step to success and progress up the belt ladder?

Black And Decker Drill Set

If this sounds like something you've been through before or something that you are experiencing now then keep reading.

The fear of taking a karate test is a real one, but don't make the mistake of blowing the test out of proportion. Remember this is just a test and whether you pass or fail, it does not have to be the beginning or end of your karate practice. Let me give you some simple tips for dealing with the pressure and anxiety of your first belt test.

Tip #1: Put things into perspective

If you look at your progression from white to black belt in karate as a journey, then your individual belt tests are simply checkpoints or layovers. These checkpoints give you a chance to see how far you've come, how far you still have to go and to allow yourself the chance to enjoy the fact that you've gotten this far. It's really that simple. Don't make your belt test more than it is. Nobody will ask you how you did on your yellow belt test once you are a black belt!

Tip #2: Find out what you will be tested on

This is crucial. You must know what you will be tested on. This again is like the old analogy of 'if you don't know where you're going then how will you know how to get there?' Knowing what the required content is for the next belt is like buying a map and planning your route from one destination to the next.

Tip #3: Start preparing for your test in advance

This should go without saying, but many people leave everything to the last minute when it comes to testing. Give yourself the best chance possible by writing your test date on your calendar, finding out the requirements of the test (see #2) and then practicing the things that you need to practice.

Tip #4: Get a good night's sleep before your test and do something relaxing on test day

Again, this is a no-brainer and is the same advice given to any student studying for any test. Karate is no different. So get a good night's sleep and then read a book, go for a walk, listen to some music, meditate. Do whatever it is that calms you down and helps you to focus your mind. If you know in advance that you will have to work all day or do something else that might be stressful on the day of your test, then plan for that in advance and set aside 10 minutes after you finish work to sit quietly and regroup before you go home and put on your karate uniform. Even 10 minutes of calm is better than none when it comes to preparation.

Tip #5: Don't take yourself too seriously

You are taking your yellow belt test (or your orange or your green..., or your black belt.) Whatever belt you are taking, I'm sure it means a lot to you and you want to pass. If you didn't want to pass your belt then you would have no reason to take the test in the first place. What's more, your instructor usually will have recommended that you are ready for testing. This means that if you do your best and do what you do in class, with the extra intensity that comes with adrenaline, then you will more than likely pass your test.

Don't create any more unnecessary obstacles for yourself. You fulfilled the minimum time requirement, you know the material to be tested, you have prepared in advance, you got a good night's sleep, and your instructor thinks you have the ability to pass. So don't take yourself too seriously. Get your uniform on, tie your soon-to-be-old belt and get to your karate school!

Good luck on your belt test. Believe it and you will achieve it!
